Opslag het concept van het bewaren van spullen. Het is niet altijd nodig om grote hoeveelheden van spullen op te slaan, aangezien de meeste spullen tussenproducten zijn welke vaak doorgegeven van de producerende machine naar de gebruikende machine zonder een gespecialiceerde opslag faciliteit.

Overzicht

• Stapel: Een stapel is een basaal element om een item op te slaan. Een stapel gaat in een plek in de inventaris.
• Kist: De meest gebruikte opslagmethode.
• Vehicle: Vehicles can store a significant amount of items.
  • Car: The car has an 80 slot inventory.
  • Cargo wagon: Has 40 slots for storage.
• Transport belts: The amount of items on a transport belt can be deceptively high, especially at train stops and in production where this must be taken into account. Splitters and underground belts also hold a small amount of items.

Simple buffers

The most common form of storage, buffers, are useful when a factory only uses a resource intermittently. By creating a buffer, one can assure that the resource being buffered is always present when it's needed, very important for items that are slow to produce. Buffers can also be used to ensure that certain items are always being produced or mined.

Some examples of buffers include:

• Belts

Belts store about 72 items per 10 belts when both sides of the belt are used.

• Chests

Chests can be used to create larger buffers of items.

• Machine Buffer

Assembling machines and other production machines can hold a very small amount of items in their output slot. They will stop working until these items are emptied.

Fluid storage

Main article: Fluid system

Fluids are not items, and have their own dedicated infrastructure. Fluid containers can only hold one type of fluid at a time, as opposed to item inventories that can hold stacks of different items. Fluids can be stored in one of the following:

• Storage tank: the chest analogue for fluids. Holds up to 25,000 units of fluid.
• Fluid wagon: effectively 1 storage tank, but can be moved by rail.
• Pipe: the transport belt analogue for fluids.
• Barrels: most fluids in the game (except for Steam) can be put into items that hold 50 units of fluid each. Barrels can be handled like any other item.
